Chad Stahelski reveals his desire to get Henry Cavill onboard for his next fantasy project on the screen

“Closer than we’ve ever been”: John Wick Director Chad Stahelski Drops the Biggest News About Henry Cavill’s Next Potential Fantasy Project

The Witcher may not be Henry Cavill’s last fantasy outing. There were reports
before that the British hunk was in talks to star in another fantasy project,
the action-packed Highlander. But there was no news about the actor confirming
the role until Chad Stalheski recently dropped us a new update on the project
and The Witcher‘s participation in the project. Looks like we are inching closer
to an official announcement of this Henry Cavill project! 


CHAD STAHELSKI CONFIRMS HENRY CAVILL IS HIS “BIGGEST CHOICE” FOR HIGHLANDER 

The John Wick director shared that the project is “still in the creatives“. They
are making little changes and “tweaks” here and there to get to the final draft.
But he assured the fans, “We know what we’re trying to make. It’s just a matter
of getting it to the point where we feel, “Okay, this is it. Let’s go.” But
we’re closer than we’ve ever been, so that’s good.”

Speaking about Cavill’s association with the film, the director revealed that he
did have a chat with the actor. Chad is keen on getting him onboard since he is
his “biggest choice“. He further explained

his reasons for his pick, “It’s not just about muscles and brooding. I think
he’s got an incredible range, and I think he’d bring something very special. And
his enthusiasm has been amazing in it.”

Casting Henry Cavill as the titular immortal warrior, Connor MacLeod does make
perfect sense. The actor has already proven that he is a bonafide action star.
From Mission Impossible: Fallout to The Man from U.N.C.L.E, he has done it all.
Not to mention he has got the brooding character down in fantasies like The
Witcher [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher].

WHAT IS HIGHLANDER ABOUT? 

Highlander follows a millennia-long battle between immortal warriors to become
only one Highlander. Set in the 16th century, the warriors fight till death to
absorb each other’s energy. There is a Christopher Lambert-led Highlander 1, 2.
and 3, and Adrian Paul led Highlander: Endgame and TV series. 

Cavill may or may not return as Superman

but he’s currently shooting The Witcher.
